where you have this unexplained crippling sense of anxiety and paranoia, to the point where you cannot do a simple task?
I get those sometimes (some of you have witnessed it in the chat room) and it gets to the point where I can't leave my room, even though there's nothing really to be afraid of out there. I just get so anxious.

Yep, all the time, they're called panic attacks.

My names Joe, but you can call me "Lord and master of all space and time"

Yes, I totally been there. When a bunch of my friends are having a get together, I usually chicken out and don't go. Just my social anxiety starts to control me. I become too shy to want to involve myself with the group and let myself out. I do however stop worry about how I come across to them. If they don't like me, they don't like me. There is nothing I can do to help that. Just hope that they will support me as that is what friends do. Nobody is perfect and if I am not able to do something to perfection, I will just try again and keep doing it until I get it right.

Lots of people have them, some people can deal with them rather quickly and easily. Others, like myself, sometimes get them so bad that they become debilitating and feel as if everything is coming to an end
